Aahh the old compare Palace to Brighton binfest has started up again.
Apart from the number of years spent in the top flight I think the Albion win on every other count.
People say we should aspire to be like Southampton. Finding top talent and selling them on at a great profit - but who wants to be Southampton ? They are nearly always knocking around the bottom three and rarely have a good cup run . It would be good to hold onto Cucurella for more than one...
I thought this died a death when the free "kicker" cottoned on to the fact that if he tapped the ball onto the blockers feet the ref would issue a yellow card for not retreating the 10 yards.
My first gig was Rod Stewart at the Brighton Centre in the early 1970's when my friends older sister decided she didn't want to go and gave me the ticket.
It's not a very " cool " first gig but I think I quite enjoyed it.
What time did play start today ?
I looked at 11 and it was raining hard and they said play might start later in the afternoon. I tuned in at just after 2pm and we only needed 22 to win !! . Crazy scoring run rate from England.
Long may it last !
